and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of

Shitty Website of The Week

When I first discovered Kyra Meadows Spell Casting Site, I was somewhat
skeptical. I asked myself "How could a spell cause things to
happen...are spells even real?" Well it turns out that they are. I know
this because the person who made this website charges large ammounts of
money to perform spells for them, and people wouldn't pay money for
something which was impossible. So obviously magic must be real.

Here are some of the spells you can purchase (oh, sorry, "donate for")
and their prices:

LOVE ME NOW SPELL - $120

Grows feelings of love towards you in your intended.

REUNITE US SPELL - $120

Fixes relationship problems in existing or past relationships.

FAST CASH SPELL - $100

If you have a bill you needed to pay yesterday, or you need a quick sum
of money very fast, this spell is for you.

RICH LIFE SPELL - $120

Do you dream of a life of luxury and riches? People who have ordered
this spell have gone on to see what they refer to as 'money miracles'.

AURA CLEANSING - $120

Clear negative energies or "bad vibes" from your aura.

And just in case you still think this is some kind of scam (shame on
you) I offer you a few more pieces of evidence that this site is for
real:

1. The spellcaster's name is Kyra Meadows

This combination of a somewhat new-agey first name and reasonably
nature-y last name has been favored by spellcasters since the beginning
of time.

2. The spellcaster provices a number of photgraphs of herself in
flowing robes

A number of soft focus photos of a mildly attractive white woman in
billowy clothing in some sort of glen or meadow go a long way towards
convincing me she is a witch.

3. The spellcaster gives her "word"

As we all know, a man's word is his bond. I assume this goes for women
as well, so this promise holds a lot of weight:

*I WILL NEVER ASK FOR ANY MORE MONEY FROM YOU TO COMPLETE
YOUR SPELL.*
A common 'trick' of some unethical spell casters is to email you
partway through the spell and say that there has been a problem, and in
order to continue, they will need more from you. I will never do that
to you, you have my word.

This is reassurring to say the least. So long as you've paid--er, I
mean DONATED--the original $125 dollars for that "remove curse" spell,
the caster won't try to "scam" you by asking for any more. What a
relief!

4. Kyrameadows.com provides a LENGTHY WALL OF LEGAL TEXT
Only real businesses do this, so obviously this site is legit.
Especially comforting is this short passage from the second paragraph

Your usage of these products constitutes a spiritual
endeavor and no
guarantees or warranties are made, expressed, or implied as to the
results of these spiritual endeavors whether made by you or us.

So there you have it. The spells might not do anything at all (so don't
ask for you money back if they don't), but aside from that, everything
is 100% above board.

I have to say, it's nice to see an honest business for once.
